POT LAW WEAKENED IN ONTARIO
Ontario is one step closer to the legalization of marijuana after the
Ontario Superior Court struck down two key parts of the Controlled
Drugs and Substances Act that prohibit the possession and production
of pot.
The court declared the rules that govern medical marijuana access and
the prohibitions laid out in Sections 4 and 7 of the act
"constitutionally invalid and of no force and effect" on Monday.
If the government does not respond within 90 days with a successful
delay or re-regulation of marijuana, the drug will be legal to possess
and produce in Ontario.
